    I know a lot of fans and especially critics did not like this album but this song (especially this remix) is absolutely epic Kraftwerk 🇩🇪 This was the very first song and mix that I heard when I first walked into Starck Club in Dallas in 1987.

      I first listened to Kraftwerk when i was 10, i fell in love with telephone call and radioactivity, about 2 years later i started to listen to their all songs it ended me knowing entire discography... Now i moved to other synthpop bands but Kraftwerk always will be around them.

    I think Francois Kevorkian was like the hidden fifth member on these later releases by the original 4. He really took Kraftwerk's stuff into the stratosphere and this is a perfect example of that.

    I was given my first Kraftwerk LP in '75 - Radioactivity. By college, I had an infatuation with Germany, which caused me to learn German and then spend a summer there in a college work-exchange program. Excepting Can, there was nothing like Kraftwerk in the early 1970s and everyone that came after them owe them a debt of gratitude. That first Radioactivity LP literally changed my life.

      Or perhaps you are German, and that is your native language. No disrespect. I first heard "Trans Europe Express" in 1984 in English. Bought the album from an older brother of a friend of mine. At the time I couldn't believe he actually sold it to me. Bought the album again when I was stationed in Germany, and yes it is the German version, and yes it is just as dope!

    In the description, the first song is labeled a remix, but if I’m not mistaken, the first song is the long official album version of the telephone call, different from the single version, which is much shorter and has been the official version of the song (probably after remastering) since the release of the box set The Catalogue
    Edit: actually, having now heard the original album version, I see this is the 12 inch single remixed version in the video. I was just confused by the lengths of the two versions being very similar

    I wish it was this longer version of Telephone Call that got remastered/had a remastered release, they only did the 3 minute version when they remastered and re-released everything for their 2009 box set.
    Though, it may be a case of not having that full version in archive, as well as having to pay for any extra costs for Karl's vocal contribution in that mix.
